If they intend to rehire you, why are they terminating you rather than laying you off? It sounds like they are trying to get out of paying you for disability leave. Also if you are terminated, I think there is a 6 weeks penalty period for unemployment.

What is the reason for the termination? If it is medical, I don't think it is legal. See an attorney as David suggests and don't sign anything until you do.

My company used to make us sign a paper that said we would VOLUNTARILY resign if we were out on disability more than 12 weeks. It was of course illegal but they got away with it. I wasn't out 12 so I didn't have to challenge it. I altered the working to INnvolunarily before I signed it just in case. You should have seen look on the personell guys face.

Good luck and take care,
Eileen
